BHS Gossip here, your one and only source into the non-historical activities at the Brooklyn Historical Society.

Rumor is there was a filming for the holiday episode of Gossip Girl in our humdrum facilities the other day.  No, the staff was not lingering in the tile lobby just because Lily, Rufus, and Bart were hanging out in between shoots.  Nor were their faces and cameras mashed up against the library’s second and third floor windows to catch a glimpse.  However, sometime around 10am, an audible scream emanating from 20 St. Ann’s students across the street revealed this borough’s true feelings for the show that glorifies DUMBO while calling it Williamsburg and secretly shoots in Brooklyn instead of Manhattan.  Ahh well, I suppose we can forgive them since BHS was THE spot throughout most of the day as actors and crew glamorously filled our lobby and recently renovated sidewalk with their voluminous pots of lilies, tendrils of wires, and the glow of lights and tv stars.

You know you love us.

XOXO,
BHS Gossip

That's Lily in our Tile Lobby getting that extra special glow we see on screen.
